Abstract
Mode-locked semiconductor lasers are attractive sources of picosecond pulses for applications in high bit rate optical communications, ultrafast photonic switching, optical radar and time-resolved electrooptical sampling. Mode-locking is most frequently accomplished by modulating the gain of the semiconductor laser in an external cavity at a frequency equal to the frequency spacing between the longitudinal modes (active mode-locking1).
